cordingly unable to come. The old

who wished to go to Europe under
pleasant auspices to apply to him, and
giving his address. This advertise
ment was seen late one night by a
Young man who had been dining free

told the club porter to call hanson
The cab was procured, and with little
muscular exertion on the part OF the
porter and eabby the young man was
slowed away in its rccesses. lie told the
man to drive to the address given in
the advertisement Arrived there he
was assisted to the sidewalk, and with
much dignity ordered the cabby to
practice on the bell and knocker of the
old-fashioned residence. The adyer-
tiser stuck his venerable head ont OF
the window. and after parley con
Quoted with explosive Indignation from
the window and unruilled assurance
from the sidewalk the ancient came
down and unbolted the door. When
he had picked up the diner and stood
him in a corner the following conver-

The Coming of the Circus.

A Very Sacred Oath.

They have no Bible in the French
courts to swear on, and the crucitix
which was used for that purpose has
been removed. But now and then a
witness needs to swear by something,
AS in a judicial examination at Maur-
seilles lately of a man accus ed of mnr-
der A cab-driver was asked if he
could swear to certain testimony he
had given. He raised his hand in a
tragic manner toward Heaven, and ex-
claimed, in stentorian tone; Il swear
it. Monsieur lie Juge. by the ashes OF
nv poor sister who died of the choi-
erar' He had something sacred, if not
a Bible or crueifx. - Independent.

The New York World says, Dir. John
Ii. Hall, of Jacksonville. Fla, an
ncunces that he is willing to donate
100000 acres of land in the State of
Georgia to the poor and landlesS people
of Ireland who may care to emigrate.
He will allot twenty-five acres to each
family. We know nothing of the
character of the land or of the benevo-
lent DIR. Hall, but his proposition is
certainly a generous one, and we trust
that our Land League or some other
Irish-American organization will at
once place itself in communication
with the kind-hearted Floridian.

1t will be well foI the farmers in
New York, and the conductors of
newspapers in the country, whom DR..
McGlynn proposes to instruct in their
political duties, to make a clipping of
what he wrote to his archbishop on
Dec. 20, 1856, and call on DR.. McGlynn
to explain what was then in his mind.
This is what he wrote:
''My doctrine about the land has
been made clear III speeches, in reported
interviews and in published articles,
and | repeat it here. | have taught,
and shall continue to teach, in speeches
and writings as long as live, that land
is the rightful property of the people in
common, and that private ownership of
land is against natural justice, no
matter by what ecclesiastical laws it
NAV be sanctioned, and l will bring
about instantly, if l could, such change
of laws all the world over as would /
confiscate private property in land |

emiscalled owners. IN 7. Star.

The New York Sun has made another
wonderful discovery. 1t has found
that Mr.. Cleveland, in his recital of

tory to please Mr.. Dana.

As the chilly days and nights ap-
preach, reminding us of the fact that
the bowling blasts and pinching cold
of winter is nearing us; it naturally
causes us to think of the necessary ar
rangementS to meet the emergency.
One of the first things to look after is
the condition of the stoves and heaters
that furnish artificial heat for the
household; repairs made, fiues cleaned,
affording no opportunity for disastrous
fires. A large number of dwellings are
destroyed by neglecting these import
ant duties, causing loss of property and
often loss of life, and rendering famil-
les homeless at a season of the year
when dwelling place is most needed.

We judge from the state and county
convention platforms throughout the

tired of paying taxes on the necessarieS

few rich manufacturers and pileing up

We have frequently stated that the
large majority of the members of the

SHOOTING TOURNAMENT,
DIR NIMRODS DOING EVERYTHING IN
THEIR POWER TO ENTERTAIN
THEIR VISITING SHOOTIsTS.

The opening day of the tournament
is not all that could be desired, as a
strong north wind makes the event
quite disagreeable. AS the shooting is
done facing the north, 1t makes
it quite difficult for the partlcl-
pants to do themselves justice, and
uncomfortable for the spectators to
stand around and take the interest in
the proceedings that they would under
different circumstances. The first
shoot was seven live pigeons, four
monies. five dollars to enter, and thir-
teen entries, making SO in the purse.
First money was won and divided be-
tween Nunamaker and Wagstaff;
second, divided between Munger, Irwin
and Bear; third, John Cooper, fourth
